** A lot of readers suspected that Syrio Forel was actually Mystique. They were right.
** Some predicted that Ned Stark would become the Punisher, due to how the weirwood tree on his breastplate could resemble a skull.
** While the hints weren't that subtle, a lot of readers also guessed that Maxell, the Maester of Harrenhall, was actually [[spoiler: Magneto]].
** Many readers also already figured that Melisandre was [[spoiler:Amora the Enchantress.]]
* InspirationForTheWork: The author has stated to reviewers that part of the inspiration for this fic was, of all things, a [=RipT=] shirt design. The cover art for the fic is said design, a direwolf done in the style of Tony's armor.
** For chapter 41 of ''A Crack of Thunder'', Mr. Chaos went through the testimonials of real life rapists to get an understanding of how the rapists would act when they attempted to assault Jane. He states that it was very disturbing to read, and that Thor's brutal massacre of them was much needed catharsis for him.

* FlipFlopOfGod: The original plans for this series were VERY differently planned. From the first chapter, the author's notes say that he was NOT interested in doing The Avengers because, "it would be too large a project to include them." While not admitted to, he clearly changed his mind in the middle of Book 1 as the story pivoted from a Stark exploration to a Marvel/ASOIF expanded story by the next book.

** Given the reveal of Lyanna and Rhaegar having a kid, the pieces were clearly in play to have [[spoiler: Jon and Natasha]] leave King's Landing near the end of book 3. But, upon consideration of the wider cast in that area, Mr. Chaos thought that Jiffersun Davis was too well entrenched to want to leave, and [[spoiler: Jon]] would never leave behind the newly allied Spider family in his escape. Also, he said he wasn't interested in telling a "powerless lords on the run" story with this set of characters. So, Mr. Chaos instead took a different approach to keep them in King's Landing: [[spoiler: Give Jon near unfettered power as [[NumberTwo Hand of the King]] and Tommen's new regent]].

** He had a very hard time figuring out how to include the Hulk, and was seriously considering leaving it out entirely before a scene in ''Fanfic/AndTheGiantAwoke'' gave him the idea of [[spoiler:Brienne becoming She-Hulk]]. And beyond that, he wasn't going to include Bruce and certainly not as the Hulk beyond a brief mention of the source of the powers, but came up with a new idea for a role he could play in Book 3 literally while he was writing the backstory.

* IronyAsSheIsCast: [[spoiler:It’s actually Sansa who becomes the story’s version of Wolfsbane, despite Arya’s actress Maisie Williams being [[Film/TheNewMutants the one who plays her.]]]] This was a deliberate flip of expectations on the author’s part.

** While writing the wedding of Jon and Natasha, the author mis-typed the word "kiss" as "kill", which got him thinking that this really wouldn't be too out of place in Westeros, so he wrote a whole gag scene in which they kill Lancel as part of the ceremony.
